AVID Jazz here presents four classic Jackie McLean albums including original LP liner notes on a finely re-mastered and low priced double CD. All four albums have been digitally re-mastered for probably the finest ever sound quality! Fat Jazz / Jackie's Bag / New Soil / Swing Swang. I love being surprised by a newly discovered voice. It's like suddenly stumbling across new country: so much to explore, a Place To Be as Hiromi once so felicitously titled one of her projects. Jackie McLean affords the listener many pleasures.First, his balance of feeling and sensibility. Jackie is very much the Romantic, probing, adventurous, dynamic. Second, his gift for improvisation is very painterly. The pictures he creates in the listeners mind are fresh and repay repeated focused listening. Thirdly, his sense of drive and swing is flawless-the man can pivot from figure to the next with a lithe athletic grace. Fourth, Jackies improvisations are like the best modern poetry, full of the sound of surprise. Jackie plays with some of the best musician of the early 60s - Donald Byrd, Sonny Clark, Walter Davis, Jr., blue Mitchell, Kenny Drew,Paul Chambers, Jimmy Garrison, Art Taylor among others. All in all, if you're tired of the routine, this collection will be a blessing. tracklist: CD1 1-5: ‘Fat Jazz’ 01. Filide 02. Millie’s Pad 03. Two Sons 04. What Good Am I Without You 05.
